SUE CAME ANB wESr.

Hsr coming made the dawn NOR,
bright.
Her going brought the sombeF sight;
Her coming made the Blossoms shine,
Her going made them droop and pine
WheFe'eT her twinklinR feet did pass,
Beneath them RresneT grew the grass;
The song birds RULED their small
throats
To swell for her their blithest notes.
Bot when ahe went, the blushinR day
Sank into silence chill and gray,
The dark its sable vans aaforled,
And sadden night possessed the world.
Oh, fond desires that wake in vain
shs ne'sf will csme to as aRaiB;
And now, like vanished perfume sweet.
Her memory grows more vague and
feet.
Yet We rejoice that morn BY morn
The cad old world seems less foFloFn,
Since once 20 bright vision came
10 touch eur lives With heavenly fame,
And show 10 our beWildersd eyes
What beauty dwells In paradise.
-James b. Kenyon, "a The Century.
